What would happen, if, every time you got into your own car...?

you had to sit through a 60 second advert telling you not to steal cars, then a 15 second advert for the car manufacturer, before it would start?

You'd hate it, right?

So why is it that every time you slip a legally purchased DVD in the player, you have to put up with exactly that? A 60 second advert telling you not to steal films and a 15 second advert for the film company.

    i dont know why for the stealing films but as for the film company thing, its to promote bussiness and get people to but their product, just like there are comercials on tv. but if u ask me it just makes me want to buy their dvds less

    I know, I hate that!! Especially when I buy bootlegged copies of movies still in the theatre. Why copy that? I mean, I am paying my $5 for the movie, not a lecture.

    Just joking, I do not purchase bootlegged movies.

    That would be horrible. The good thing is is that when you're watching a DVD you're not in a hurry to get any where like work or school.

    Think of it as a perfect time to go pee before the movie starts.
